Patent number: 9851348Abstract: A lateral flow immunoassay system is provided that includes a housing having a base portion forming a first chamber therein and a body portion formed with three openings in fluid communication with the first chamber, a vial containing a buffer agent, and a sample collector for introducing a sample fluid into the first chamber via the second opening. The vial is mounted to the housing such that a dispensing side extends into the first opening for dispensing the buffer agent therefrom into the first chamber. The housing allows the buffer agent and sample fluid to be mixed within a reaction well formed within the first chamber to form a test sample mixture. The body portion is configured to receive a receiving end of an elongated holder in the third opening and allow a test strip secured in the holder to be brought into communication with the text sample mixture.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2014Date of Patent: December 26, 2017Assignee: AMERICAN BIO MEDICA CORPORATIONInventors: Douglas Casterlin, Larry Ferringo, Ian Sullivan, Rob Bernstine, Rich Reilly, Pablo Arroyo, Stan Cipkowski

Publication number: 20140021059Abstract: Methods and systems for electrochemical production of formic acid are disclosed. A method may include, but is not limited to, steps (A) to (D). Step (A) may introduce water to a first compartment of an electrochemical cell. The first compartment may include an anode. Step (B) may introduce carbon dioxide to a second compartment of the electrochemical cell. The second compartment may include a solution of an electrolyte and a cathode. The cathode is selected from the group consisting of indium, lead, tin, cadmium, and bismuth. The second compartment may include a pH of between approximately 4 and 7. Step (C) may apply an electrical potential between the anode and the cathode in the electrochemical cell sufficient to reduce the carbon dioxide to formic acid. Step (D) may maintain a concentration of formic acid in the second compartment at or below approximately 500 ppm.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 1, 2013Publication date: January 23, 2014Applicant: Liquid Light, Inc.Inventors: Narayanappa Sivasankar, Ian Sullivan, Emily Barton Cole, Kyle Teamey, Kunttal Keyshar
